The golden fruit palm spends the summer outdoors
Grooming gold fruit palm outdoors in summer
The gold fruit palm or areca palm can not stand any cold. When it's warm enough in the summer outside, she really appreciates a place on the terrace. What you need to keep in mind if you want to spend the summer outside of Goldfrucht palms.
The right location outside
Goldfruchtpalmen are used from their original homeland Madagascar heat and light. Temperatures around 18 degrees are ideal. Nevertheless, you must not put a gold fruit palm in the summer directly in the sun. The leaves then burn and the palm tree comes in.
Find a place where the Areca palm tree is protected from direct sunlight by walls, bushes or trees. Also, the location should not be too windy.
Slowly get the Goldfruchtpalme into the fresh air by first bringing it outside by the hour. If it gets too cold at night, you should bring it better into the house in the evening.
So you are grooming the gold fruit palm outside
Gold fruit palms need a lot of water compared to other terrace dwellers. You must therefore water an Areca palm regularly, so that the root ball never completely dries out. Use rainwater if possible for pouring. Low-limp, not too cold tap water is also possible.
Waterlogging does not tolerate waterlogging. It is best to keep the gold fruit palm outside without putting it on a coaster or in a planter. Then rainwater can drain through the vent hole unhindered.
Fertilization takes place every two weeks with a commercial palm fertilizer. If the gold fruit palm has just been repotted, it must not be fertilized in the first few months.
Get to the house in time for the winter
At the latest, when the daytime temperatures drop below 15 degrees, you have to bring the Areca palm tree into the house. Gold fruit palms can not stand the cold.
Before you bring the palm into the house and overwinter it in a bright, sunny, frost-free place, examine it for a possible pest infestation.
Tips
In winter, the indoor air is often too dry for the gold fruit palm. Then the leaf tips turn brown. By setting up water bowls and regularly spraying the leaves with lime-free, lukewarm water, you increase the humidity.
